    “ Hell, if someome wrote a book about you, well, it'd sell a million copies the day it was released. And if someone else was clever enough to write a parody - you know, to privide som comic relief during these extremely difficult economic times - that would probably be an even bigger seller, or at least it shoud be. So, just come clean with me, Ed. Your secret's safe with me, and whoever reads my internet blog. You...are...a...vampire! ”
    ― Stephen Jenner, Twilite: A Parody

    “ It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat? ”
